 Hey guys, sappy loser over here. I only realized Samkin deleted himself now, who say's I'm late to the party? Major bummer dude. Been rolling through threads like this and I get way too sad about it. I didn't know him, I may have looked through his IB once, but I really think I only saw him on e6 a couple times. Now, I'm sad this fellas gone. And, well, it's been over a year now, so I'm losing hope at the idea of him coming back. I never got to read all the stories, and as I've learned from the image linked, even just making the description from json to text is a bigger pain than it should be. Point is, I'm lazy, but still sad.
Someone put the idea of that he got caught doing this, and I can't help but feel like their right. I almost feel like it's alluded to in his final post. (sorta. He made a post advertising one of his friends movie nights with a poster, but it was a small post and was made directly after the Hello World post). He mentions that the characters were caught and it was hard to get back to normal life, and that's why they disappeared. I don't understand why he would delete everything if not for the case that it became too close to his real life. Someone knows, though. In Misterpicklemans diary entry 'Farewell, Samkin' he mentions that he's safe and doing well, and that he learned this through a mutual friend. Well, I bet Samkin told somebody why he did what he did. I guess chances are we'll never know. Or, maybe we found out and I'm just really bad at finding that knowledge.
Either way, it's a bummer and I'm sad about it. Such a cute series with lovable characters absolutely destroyed. This is the part of the cub community I wish others saw. Because theirs awful, depraved stuff out there, but I think Samkin was cute more than lewd, and showed me, atleast, that not all cub artists are depraved weirdos, despite that he also made NSFW items. This post is mostly just me venting. I've been thinking about this since Saturday and it bums me out when I think about it, so this is me coming to terms with that it sucks, and it's sad, but it happens, and chances are it's gonna happen again with other artists I really like, and it will probably be worse when I actually liked them as they were working.
I guess if I were to have one think to say to Samkin, it'd be sorry. Sorry for not appreciating him in his time, sorry that it sounds like he was harassed by outsiders (cub haters) and his own community (people not caring for story, wanting yiff). And I'm sorry that something led him to the point where he had to torch everything. Hopefully, one day, things get better within the furry community that this happens less. Maybe one day.
